What's Tennis Ace About

Publisher Summary

Steve wishes he had as much drive to win at tennis as his older sister, Ginny. He knows nothing would please his father more. But the truth is, Ginny is the real tennis ace in the family. It’s frustrating for both children that their father ignores Ginny’s talents while pushing a reluctant Steve harder and harder. Will brother and sister finally get up the courage to tell him how they feel?
